"Customers who purchased the chocolate chips may return them for an immediate refund or replacement," said Karen Meleta, vice president of Consumer and Corporate Communications for Wakefern.

"People who are not allergic to milk and those who are not concerned about consuming dairy ingredients may choose not to return the product as it is otherwise safe to eat."

The product was sold in ShopRite, The Fresh Grocer and other retail stores located throughout the Northeast. Wakefern has contacted ShopRite and The Fresh Grocer Price Plus Club customers who have purchased this product to alert them to the recall.
